DNA double-strand breaks induced by mammographic screening procedures in human mammary epithelial cells
29 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To assess in vitro mammographic radiation-induced DNA damage in mammary epithelial cells from 30 patients with low (LR) or high (HR) family risk of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Spontaneous and radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) were quantified by using immunofluorescence of the phosphorylated H2AX histone (γH2AX) in different conditions of mammography irradiation (2, 4, 2 + 2 mGy)....
